STAGE VS.. PULPIT.

The Mckenzie church, the leading M
E. church, at Nashville, Tenn, was the
scene Of a very unusual occurrence last
Sunday. The Rev. W. A. Chandler, de-
llvered very severe and bitter sem0n on
the subject Of the theater. Miss Emma
Abbott, the opera singer, occupied seat
In the rear Of the church, and az the con
clusion of the sermon arose, and In short
speech entered protest against the very
general character Of the pastors denuncia
ton. Many members Of the church upheld
the pastor, but many others commend
the course of Miss Abbott
The singers appearance, 1t is said. show
ed much suppressed Indignation. but her
words We're very clear and distinct and
were heard by ell present She declared
the minister's charges unfounded and de,
clared that her life was as free from blame
as that of any living woman. In all the
operas of the past week to which the minis
ter referred, there was no improper thought
The great lights of the stage, such as Jen
ny Lind, Modjeska, Albani, and count
less others had been good women aud
model wives and mothers She defed
any one to say that aught had ever been
said against the fair fame of Emma Alb
bolt
The report Of the occurrence says there
was considerable applause at the conclusion
of Miss Abbott's remarks. Before 1t sub.
sided Mr. Gambler answered that
he could not answer the lady, because
she was lady. During the day as the
affair became known, great many ladies
who had met Miss Abbott socially called
on her and commended her spirited defense
of her sex and her profession.

A SISTERS GENEROTITY.

That's one thing about girl, says the
San Francisco Chronicle. She's generally
very unselfish to her brother. You don't
often hear of young fellow giving up bic
pocket money to his sister; he usually
growls if she wants him to take her TO the
theatre. But if boys in little troub G
his sister will stand by him like brick
She'll not only give him her pocket money
but she'll go and wheedle some more out
OF her father to give 1t to him. She'll fiji,
she'll prevaricate. she'll beg. He'll hang
about outside until she gets 1t and comes
and gives 1t to him Then he will grab
his hat and bolt out of the house. And
she does not mind IL he does
not thank her particularly. He's hel
brother, snd--well-a woman always looks
at kindness done to man as its OWL
reward. A boy can generally wheedlt
money out Of his mother. But II she can
give 1t to him out Of the household cash
or her own pocket, she has tendency u
spoil all by telling his father what sht
wants the money for A girl cannot sue
coed with her mother very often, but she
does not often fall with the old man. AnC
she's always more ingenious In inventine
necessities for 1t. A girl, with all The
more limited acknowledged needs Of
womankind for money, will find at any
time more reasonable excuse for requir-
ing It than man with innumerable naturs
wants. God bless the sisters, any way
Any one Of them Is worth q whole family

The Republican club of the city Of New
York held a meeting at Chickering Hall
Saturday night TO ratify the nominations
made at the Saratoga convention. James
2. Foster, president Of the club occupied
the chair. Among those on the stage
were Pacific Railway Commissioner Lit
tier, Col Fred D. Grant, Jesse D. Grant,
U. s. Grant Hon. w. NJ. Evarts, after
speaking strongly In favor Of Col. Fred D.
Grant, candidate for secretary of state,
said among other things: I'VE have q
new Congress. The Democrats have s
majority of twelve In the lower branch,
but what does that majority amount to as
against the united, intelligent, trained
minority of Republicans. Who are the
strongest party in the country todsyr We
have reversed Virginia. We are stronger
IN our votes and In our principles. The
Democrats did not elect the LAST president.
1t was the Republicans. Speaking of the
Prohibitionisls, Senator Evarts said they
were reaching out for laws that can not be
executed The only way, he, said, Is to
obtain the adoption of the prohlb!tory law
and enforce It where you can st frs, and
let il grow till It covers the whole land
Repeated calls for Col Grant brought him
to his feet. He said: You know my
speeches are always short, but l want to
say how proud l am TO bear the name
which you have honered, snd should be
elected In November l viii faithfully per
form the duties imposed upon me-"

Either Mr.. Powderly was fooling about
1t, or else was incorrectly reported some
time ago when 1t was stated that he would
resign the position of grand master work.
man at the national assembly at Minneap-
oils. In his address before that body he
announced his readiness and willingness to
do what the general assembly should order
him to do, and that such orders win be
obeyed in preference to any command or
suggestion from any other source, clearly
indicating that he is Knight of Labor
first and an obediept Catholic afterward.
He said nothing of the proposed or intend
ed trip to Ireland that had been planned for
him some time ago, and the presumption is
that he expects to find enough work con
nected with the order Of which he Is the
head to keep him busy, through the com
ing winter at least. By-the-way, the op
position to M. Powderly that was said to
exist some months ago did not manifest
itself In the general assembly. On the
contrary the dispatches report,a very har
monious convention of representatives of
the order and practical unanimity In ap

The EAGLE does not often feel itself
called upon to interfere, with even so much
as a suggestion, In personal or private con-
troversles or the acts of officials in such
matters, but having an eye to the eternal
fitness Of things and to prevent anything
like an unseemly squabble between the
Episcopalian and Presbyterian brethren In
Madison, Wis, Sunday over the little
matter of which congregation should have
the president to assist them In their public
devotions, we suggested to him, 1t will
be remembered, the propriety of not
attending service at either church and thus
settle the controversy. We are pleased to
note that In this instance, as is usually the
case under such circumstances, the EAGLES
hint was acted upon; the president and his
wife remained indoors at the Villas man
sion all day Sunday. We are glad the
seemingly rough place In the presidents
voyage Of the west was so nicely tided
over, and we know he feels to thank us for
the suggestion, as all others concerned will
when calmer reflection enspes.

liam Warner upon being nominated for
Commander in chief, and thus help to ef-
fectually settle this internal racket about
politics In the Grand Army The fact that
Major Warner would prefer to sever bis
party relations rather than his connection
with the grand army ought to give his
words some weight:
Maj Warner. who was seated with the
Missouri delegation. arose and said:

for no one has been promised an
office. But / want to say before sit

to be true, that the G. A r takes no man
On account OF his politics. Loud and con-
tinded applause. For my own part am

moment that party comes between me and

cheering thank you all for the nomi-
nation. l shall continue to be proud Of my
privilege to be comrade, and private in
the ranks of the grandest organization on

that will promote its welfare.

that the threatened danger Is passed and
